Explanation / Answer

according to beer law

A = e x b x c

e = A / ( b x C)

here

A = absorbance

we know that

absorbance does not have any units


b = path length ( cm)

C = concentration ( M)


now

for the unit of e

we get

e = 1 / cm M

e = M-1 cm-1

so

the unit of e is M-1 cm-1

or

we know that

M = moles / volume = mol / L

so

unif of e are

1) M-1 cm-1

or

2) L mol-1 cm-1
